Americans Abroad Weekend Rewind: Holmes, Miazga, and more

1 Shares

Duane Holmes got a rare start on Saturday as Derby County battled back for a 2-2 draw in FA Cup play against Southampton. The American midfielder was a lively presence in Frank Lampard’s team, and was able to help the Rams earn a replay against the Premier League side later this month.

The 24-year-old recorded one shot on goal while also winning 60% of his one-on-one duels. Despite not being able to find the back of the net, Holmes ability to create chances for his teammates will surely give Lampard something to consider as Derby returns to league action on Friday at Leeds United.

Elsewhere, Matt Miazga earned his first appearance for Nantes since last October in their French Cup triumph over lower league competition. Eric Lichaj and Tim Ream both started for their respective clubs despite FA Cup elimination. Lynden Gooch continued to start for Sunderland but the Black Cats could only earn a point at Charlton Athletic.
